Hi all, Recently took the jump to mirrorless and settled on the R5. One of the benefits was the built in wifi, which is future proofed some what compared to the Flashair card I used with my rather ancient 1D MkIV! However, I'm having awful issues - to the point where I'm tempted just to put...

Hello, I would like to start printing A4 or possibly up to A3 though this is not a deal breaker. At present I use a local printing store in town for Fine Art A4 prints of my images that I have sold. They charge apx £8 per print, and I know I can get A4 prints cheaper online, however most of...

My 7-year-old son has been using my old Canon S90 for some sports photography and noticed that there's a significant shutter lag, which makes it difficult to get the shots he wants. However, he was doing a good job at anticipating when rally cars would be in the frame today. I think it might be...

Hi all. Just wanted to pick your brains on whether anyone knows good places to find parts for older lenses, or even to buy older broken lenses with the purpose to using it for parts. I find some bits on ebay, but not for the lens i'm looking for. The lens i'm interested in is a Canon EF 85mm...

Wondering what people think is the best bang for Pro Interior Photography? Has to be Canon.

Hi.. I have a Canon 5d which I haven't used for a year or two, but got it out recently and found that the rubberised coating around the top dial is coming off and is a bit sticky when I touch it. I've heard of this before but does anyone know if there's a way to stop it. I've tried cleaning it...

Wasn't sure which forum to post these in, but I settled for the urban thread. Here are a few from Kiel - a bit of an odd spot to stop in on a cruise, because it was a bit like stopping in Bedford or somewhere. Nonetheless, I got a few shots. 1 Kiel, Germamy-3 by G- Slev, on Flickr 2 Kiel...

Skagen is the northernmost town in Denmark, located where the Baltic meets the North Sea. It's a curious place - not a great lot there, but a stop during a cruise a couple of weeks back gave me the chance to have a wander round. 1. Railtracks through town Skagen train tracks by G- Slev, on...

Hi Basic question - would an EF 800mm f5.6 with a 1.4x extender retain autofocus at the centre point with a 1DX Mark II? I can find this article here (https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174703) that "1 series bodies" retain centre point AF, but 1DX is not mentioned? Thanks

Hi there, My first post! I have several Canon L lenses used with my (very old ) 5D MkII. My question is: If I keep my L lenses, can I use them on any 'modern' mirrorless body, or is the best I can do a 5D Mk IV? Thank you. JW

Hello. My name is Pavle. I'm a young photographer. I have just started, so I'm a beginner so I'm still learning. Focus (that square thing) was set on this guy's body (stomach) and not face. What I'm trying to ask is if that (square) is on his stomach will only part of that body (stomach) be in...

Jeez, I have a massive post processing backlog. Too much time spent simracing and not enough attending to my photography. Anyway, here are a few from the BARC Super Touring event at Oulton Park back in may. 1. Super Touring, Oulton Park-6 by G- Slev, on Flickr 2. Super Touring, Oulton...

According to this Canon rumour the CEO of Canon JP promised to release 8 new lenses annually for the next 4 years. If this is true what are the top 8 RF lenses do you want to see by this time next year?

This has been verified by me with EF bodies from 2003 EOS 10D up to 2015 EOS 5Ds R. RF bodies like the 2020 EOS R5 & 2022 EOS R7 may have this. Owners may want to verify. To reduce whatever ISO noise Canon has a weird ISO increments of every ISO 160. So ISO - 160 - 320 - 640 - 1250 - 2500 -...

A few shots from Canary Wharf, taken before I set off on my South Bank photowalk

A few shots from a walk that I did along the Thames a few months back from the Tate Modern to Tower Bridge.

Not a great collection to be honest - I was having a bit of an off day, and the light was not the best. Anyway, I have posted the best of a fairly disappointing bunch. 1. Oulton Park British Gt 2022-67 by G- Slev, on Flickr 2. Oulton Park British Gt 2022-61 by G- Slev, on Flickr 3. Oulton...

Just catching up on some editing. Here are some shots from a BARC club meeting at Oulton Park last month. 1. British Automobile Racing Club, April 2022 - Oulton Park - 2022-10 by G- Slev, on Flickr 2. British Automobile Racing Club, April 2022 - Oulton Park - 2022-7 by G- Slev, on Flickr 3...

Hi everyone. I went for a roll around the local park on Saturday. I took my EOS650 loaded with HP4 and left my 90D at home - so that I didn't get a set of duplicate photos. It was a cold day and the wheelchair just about managed the path down to the lake. I met a couple of other keen...

Hi all, I haven't posted on here for a while but I'm planning on going on a 3 week safari this summer and I was planning on upgrading my camera for the trip. My original plan was to hire both camer and lenses because I haven't been using my camera much recently, but for the cost of hiring a...

Hi everyone, I have recently gotten a Canon A1, that functions perfectly well apart from the shutter speeds at the lower end of the dial. Timings starting at around half a second, are significantly faster than they should be. For example a 1 second exposure is measuring at around 0.8 seconds...

Hey all! Just a quick one, I'm looking at renting some lenses and maybe a 2nd work horse body for certain shoots (Mainly sports so bigger lenses 400mm etc.) What website do you use or know about that would be good for this? Decent prices etc. CHEERS!

Hi, I’m new to photography having my fujifilm x100t has given me a real passion for it and I am looking at doing a diploma course with the BAPH (I know it doesn’t count for much but would be pretty much my first qualification in anything so I want to do it) I was looking at the equipment list...

So I'm currently using my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy s9+) and an old bridge camera, specifically a Polaroid is2132. The Polaroid is fine and all, but I've had it for about 8 years and am in the mood to treat myself a little bit and replace it but I'm unsure on what to buy as the replacement. For...

Hey guys! So I have a Canon EOS 1100D(Rebel T3) and was looking to mount a Helios 44-2 onto there - which outside of an adapter I can do, no problems. But as my 1100D(Rebel T3) is a crop sensor I wanted to get an focal reducer to make the most of the lens but I am struggling to find one - I'm...

Hi I am new here but I am having a technical nightmare. I am trying to buy a filter at 77mm (what is this called where the mm number is on the lens cap)? to fit on a 67mm lens. I don't know if I need a step up or step down ring for this filter - 77mm to 67mm Also I am looking at 2 other...

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but I've just watched the 'all singing, all dancing' launch of the new Canon R5 (hell of a camera) and checked out the price - over in the states it retails for $3,899 in Adorama and over here in Blighty it is £4,199 in Wex. This equates to over...
